Quick start

To start using Miosix you need a patched version of the GCC compiler called Miosix Toolchain and git to download the kernel sources. Optionally you can also use an IDE to simplify code development, and an in-circuit debugger to speed up bug fixing.

In-circuit debugger

An in-circuit debugger allows to physically halt the CPU inside a microcontroller, single-step it and view all the variables at any given time. It is a powerful tool to debug software running on a microcontroller. Miosix uses GDB and openocd for in-circuit debugging.
